Being for every other: Levinas in the anthropocene
The essay traces the apparent influence of Emmanuel Levinas on several thinkers concerned in different ways with Anthropocene ethics. It postulates that an application of Levinas’s ideas to the involvement of the human and the non-human challenges and extends the limits of his thought, while considering the occasionally partial and even fundamentally distorting nature of some of these appropriations

The article shows how the colonial situation is intertextually rec…

Emmanuel Levinas's Totality and Infinity (1961) is explicitly con cerned with the suppression of the voice of the Other by the synoptic totalizations of the voice of western philosophy.
